Actually bro, you don't understand. Mexico is 9th in the number foreign entries, which very much DOES depend on the United States, and only 24th in foreign tourism receipts, which also heavily depends on the United States. USA citizens crossing the border for a short trip is a large part of their revenue and visit numbers.
If travel from the USA is further discouraged, the economy will tank, a fact that professional currency traders who trade currency every day based on facts already know.
I don't necessarily support a wall, but we shouldn't advertise the fiction that somehow the US will be adversely impacted by it more that Mexico.
